Welcome Address
Dear members of the Korean Society of Interventional Cardiology,
Due to the aftereffect of COVID-19, the KSIC Summer Conference 2020 will now take place online on Aug 28-29.
As the conference was urgently moved to online in response to such an unprecedented national disastrous situation, it was inevitable that it would take some time to prepare and restructure the schedule. We ask for your kind understanding regarding this issue, but we’ve still managed to prepare lots of fine quality programs at the Virtual KSIC Summer Conference 2020 for your time to be an instructive one.
Especially, there will be a Young Interventionist Session where our young fellow members can gain practical experiences as they encounter the experiences and techniques of experts by using case examples and learning about the decision making. Besides, a policy session for improving the rights and interests of our members has been newly established where you can discuss the present state of an interventional procedure including the lowered funds for an interventional procedure and seek development plans with the aim of enhancing the actual rights and interests of our members who never stop in their tireless efforts at work. At the Healthcare Policy Session, we will invite all working-level staff members of the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service and Korean Medical Association to provide practical assistance to our members’ business by discussing the changes in examination works, the revision of the 3rd reshuffle act, etc.
Furthermore, please display a strong interest in the interventional procedure recommendations for COVID-19 that will be issued by the Korean Society of Interventional Cardiology and presented at the Healthcare Policy Session.
We sincerely appreciate your interest and support, and we hope to see many of you at the Virtual KSIC Summer Conference 2020.
